At least 170,000 elementary, middle and high school students nationwide who do not have online learning equipment.

However, only 67% of the total has been investigated, which may increase.

Currently, about 230,000 smart devices, such as PCs owned by the provincial and provincial offices of education and schools, are secured by the Ministry of Education.

Here, Samsung Electronics decided to donate 30,000 tablet PCs and LG Electronics donated 6,000.

In this way, we plan to lend 316,000 units to students in need for free.

In addition, the three communication companies decided to provide unlimited mobile data to all elementary, middle and high school students, parents, and teachers using EBS video content.
